so up to 6.75m for Godin and 5m for Dzeko. Inter has become a very generous retirement home. Give modric 10m and 5m to vidal while we are at it.

According to Calciomercato.com, the Nerazzurri have reached an agreement with the Bosnia international, offering him a three-year contract worth €6m a season, but still must finalise the deal with the Giallorossi first. * I hope this one is wrong, €4/4.5m should be enough!

Inter are hoping to sign Edin Dzeko and Aleksandar Kolarov from Roma, using cash plus youth team striker Davide Merola.

According to the Corriere dello Sport, Antonio Conte intends to make a double swoop at the Stadio Olimpico, where those players would follow in the footsteps of Radja Nainggolan.

Both Dzeko and Kolarov are entering the final year of their contracts at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Bosnian is valued at around €13m, while the veteran Serbian left-back would only be considered as part of a package deal, or if he managed to secure a release from Roma for a nominal fee.

The Corriere dello Sport claims that the two clubs could reach an agreement for €10m cash plus 19-year-old youth team striker Merola in exchange for Dzeko and Kolarov.

Inter are still smarting after including Nicolò Zaniolo in the Radja Nainggolan deal, seeing the teenager flourish in just one season at the Olimpico.

Roma had asked for goalkeeper Ionut Radu, currently on loan at Genoa, or Italy Under-20 forward Sebastiano Esposito, but Inter refused to budge.

Also the rumors about the counterparts change daily, or few times a day. So let's just see what happens. What I'd like to see is some alternative popping up to put pressure to Roma. And I mean some real alternative which we will really go after if Roma demands too much. I don't want Inter to pay too much for washed up stars only because they are supposedly perfect for the coach. You pick player types, not specific players. Specially when we are not talking about some world class unique talents. These fucking players are 33/34 year old hasbeens.

I see no harm in getting a couple of aged players who the coach desperately wants as long as the cost is relatively low and the contracts are not more than 2 years.

We are completely changing our style of play, and hence need a lot of new players. Maybe around 5-6 players. To get 5-6 players of the quality Conte wants, if we go after only younger players we will need to spend 300-400m, which we probably don't have. So it makes sense to get a few old players on a cheap enabling us to focus the larger part of our budget on 2-3 quality young players.

I think Ausilio signed a deal with Juve not to waste any chances of destroying Inter by signing players who are the very end of their career. Otherwise, why would he even go back to Roma after losing Zanilo for the long gone Nainngolan.

Does that matter? the LB position has ben in crisis ever since the 90s. Any player that comes in and tries to do something there will be a legend to me. That position is cursed. Like i said Kolarov has been great for years, if he comes even for a year and becomes a rotational piece thats good enough. Give him a year + and option that would be activated if he does well.

Kolarov at the age of 33 is better than everyone who has played at LB position at Inter in the past two decades apart from Zanetti.

We're in no position to complain specially after all the Dalbert's and Wome's that we've been signing. I know that we should've signed him like 46 years ago and I'm pissed about it but late is better than never given our horrendous history of LBs. Kolarov also can take freekicks which is a huge plus for a team that lacks one.
